Gentleman

Well, not really. In order to have "Gentlemen" in society, we would have a tacit implication that we conversely have "Ladies". However, modern feminism has replaced "Ladies" with "Skanks and Sluts", though they would refer to themselves as "strong independent womyns".

When women sloughed off their duty to be "Ladies", they also relieved men of their duty to be "Gentlemen". Being a "gentleman" is what so many plugged-in blue pill men are doing today (opening doors, being white knights, buying flowers, buying dinners, etc) and wondering why it doesn't get them laid. Women have proven over and over through their actions that they no longer respect a "gentleman". They want an alpha cad to treat them like the cum receptacles that 90% of them fancy themselves.

Is a red pill philosophy incompatible with being an old school gentleman?

Yes, absolutely. What people miss out on is that implies Chivalry: showing kindness from a position of power. Due to modern feminine-primary conditioning, most men in a social setting are by default not in a position of power. This renders most men in a modern social setting not unwilling, but by definition incapable of being Chivalrous. True chivalry can be summed up as benevolent kindness. "Niceness" is selfish kindness with an agenda.

For the retards about to argue "all kindness is selfish, as everything", insert a rhetorical cucumber into your anus.

Show kindness to the weak, expect nothing in return. Showing kindness to the powerful (powerful men or attractive women) is perceived as deceptive, because it is. There's an agenda behind that. Don't waste your kindness on them unless they have truly earned it, because anyone who is used to being treated in that way doesn't react the same.

Not in the least.

But being an old school gentleman is incompatible with today's social landscape (at least here in the US/West).

Old school gentleman had no problem holding a lady accountable to her duties (good cleaning, good cooking, good sex), not giving in to her whimsical demands, and all around accepting that women had no capacity for cold logic and reason, only emotional hamstering.

You can tell that old school gentlemen are core RP, 'cuz they didn't mind smacking a bitch when she needed it, but they would never touch a lady in such a way.

I am an old school gentleman when I'm in the company of an old school lady. I'm a selfish asshole when I'm in the company of a dumb slut. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

The age of the chivalry is well and truly over.

That said, I usually open doors if I'm leading a group somewhere. If I'm following, I leave it to the leader.

When leading, if the other side of the door is somewhere safe such as a restaurant I open it and and usually let the followers through before someone takes over from me.

If it is somewhere unsafe, such as downtown after dark, I go through first so I have good situational awareness of what is through the door.

I don't really think of it as chivalry, just responsible awareness of your surroundings. I've never been mugged or accosted in public due to things like this, while most of my friends have in some way or another.

From memory, I originally read about the theory in one of Bruce Lee's books. It covers a ton of stuff as well about how to watch shadows to know where people are behind you, listening locally in loud places, etc. Really useful stuff over the years.

The old school Gentleman was bound tightly to the laws of the age. Those laws did not allow women to own property, so a divorce simply meant a Gentleman might need to hire an Old Maid to fill the wifes duties as he went out in search of a new younger more feminine wife to replace her.

The old school Gentlemen could afford to be gentle because the dread women felt towards divorce and abandonment was too intense for them to misbehave. Women were once the weaker sex. No longer.

Those were great times for men.

We will likely never see things so good in our lifetimes.

So the answer is "No" you can't live the life of the old school Gentlemen in an age which has made illegal the guarantee of ownership of property by men. Divorce Rape mocks your Gentlemanly ways dear sir !!!

"White Knights" often live painfully in an illusion where they continue the Gentlemans code, but that is entirely a self deception which is at the heart of Red Pill vs Blue Pill.
